| The Special Operations Targeting Process, mirroring and sitting within the [[Joint Targeting Processes |
Joint Targeting Process]], supports the implementation of a comprehensive approach which advocates that all actors, military and non-military, be considered during the Course of Action (COA) development. In this context, the Special Operations Component Command (SOCC) ensures that the effects of kinetic and/or non-kinetic actions are considered logically with an understanding of how those actions affect the targeted and non-targeted actors. It can be detrimental to leap directly into the hard targeting process of find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze, and disseminate (F3EAD), particularly in a theater dominated by unconventional warfare. |
